While speaking to reporters in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune, Sharad Pawar said: โEveryone knows what happened after the swearing-in. Presidentโs Rule was lifted. Had the (early morning) swearing-in not happened, would Presidentโs Rule have been lifted? Would Uddhav Thackeray have become the chief minister thereafter?โ
Following Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis' recent claim that Sharad Pawar had given his consent to the 2019 swearing-in ceremony, Sharad Pawar's recent remarks and subsequent smile have added to the controversy surrounding the issue.
The timing of Fadnavis' statement had already raised questions, and Pawar's reaction has only increased suspicions in the realm of Maharashtra politics.

Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar's government, formed in November 2019, was one of the shortest-lived administrations in the history of Maharashtra. The surprise early morning swearing-in ceremony occurred while talks for the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) were being finalized. After Ajit Pawar's rebellion, Sharad Pawar quickly rallied many MLAs and threw his support behind the MVA, all within a matter of hours.
